Chapter 96

As everyone knows, except for a small number of demon races with special bloodlines, most demon races can only transform into human form at the Spirit Severing Realm.

But the demon race had begun hoarding Transformation Pills a long time ago.

The Transformation Pill is a very rare type of pill; for the demon race, its value is enormous, and the value of a single pill is even enough to equal the life of a Golden Core Realm Demon King.

Its effect is to enable Golden Core Realm demonic creatures to transform.

If a demon race reaches the perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm and consumes it, it can greatly increase the success rate of the demon race in condensing a Demon Core; as long as there are no problems with damaged foundations, it is almost a one hundred percent success!

Through this kind of pill, a large number of demonic beasts were transformed into human form.

They entered human cities and sects to govern the humans within the Northern Wasteland Domain.

Not only that, but there was also a very powerful alchemist among the demon race who developed a kind of imitation similar to the Transformation Pill.

It was called the Half-Demon Pill.

Compared to the Transformation Pill, the refining process of this pill was simpler, the materials used were more common, and it could be mass-produced.

Of course, the effect would also be somewhat worse.

It could not allow the demon race to break through their strength, nor could it change the essence of the demon race.

But it could allow the demon race to transform into a half-demon form, that is, a human-like form, while retaining a portion of their characteristics as demonic beasts.

In this way, their body size would be controlled within a certain range.

The demon race could then move within cities just like the human race, complete various trading activities, and form a new type of civilization.

The goals of the Demon Kings of Wanyin Mountain were very grand; clearly, they were not comparable to those brainless demon races that only knew how to devour and evolve.

They did not want to destroy the human race, but to coexist with the human race, just like the human race ruled over the demon race, letting the demon race become the masters of the human race!

They were very well prepared.

In just a few months, every city in the entire Northern Wasteland Domain had changed drastically.

The core of power was controlled by the demon race.

A huge governing body for the Northern Wasteland Domain was established, which was even more centralized than the previous human rule, with the core of power gathered at Wanyin Mountain.

It was expected that after an hour, the core of power would be transferred to the Demon City, the main city of the demon race, which was being built about one hundred miles outside of Wanyin Mountain.

For ordinary people and the vast majority of low-level immortal cultivators, the rule of the demon race did not seem to be much different from the rule of the various sects before.

Except for the fact that at the beginning, some individuals among the demon race could not control themselves and ate people, later on, it seemed no different from before.

Even because the intelligence level of most of the managing demon personnel was not as high as the original humans, they did not deduct various taxes.

This gave the low-level immortal cultivators a feeling that they were living even better than before.

Just like that, the entire Northern Wasteland Domain stabilized.

Toward the end of the same year, Wanyin Mountain issued a directive to abolish all sects; all cultivators must reside within cities.

This directive directly split up each sect, basically causing the sects to lose their ability to pass on their heritage.

Without a doubt, this was a very useful measure to prevent the human race from growing stronger.

Lu Chengtong and Jiuyuzi also moved into the newly established Qingyu City together; the City Lord was a great demon of the Nascent Soul Realm, whose true form was a leopard, known as 'Hua Xuzi', who had consumed a Transformation Pill.

Not long after he took office, Lu Chengtong killed him, let his external incarnation devour his essence blood, and replaced him as the City Lord.

In this way, Qingyu City actually fell under his control; taking advantage of the demon race's prestige, he first robbed the Qingyu Immortal Sect of its sect techniques, collections, and other things.

All the technique manuals were recorded into the Treasure Mirror, becoming the heritage foundation of the Lu Family.

Immediately after, he used this identity to advise the Spirit Severing Realm great demon 'Deer Staff Immortal', who managed Shenzhao City, to loot the secret manuals and techniques of Shenzhao Mountain.

Things like techniques and secret arts were not things that others could not get just because one possessed them; they could be shared.

As an accomplice, Lu Chengtong naturally obtained the heritage of Shenzhao Mountain.

Shenzhao Mountain was the number one sect under the Three Great Immortal Sects; its internal heritage technique, the "Shenzhao Heavenly Scripture," was a technique that truly led directly to the immortal path, but Shenzhao Mountain only possessed the portion that could be cultivated to the Dao Integration Realm, and the subsequent parts were lost.

Otherwise, this Northern Wasteland Domain would have been the Four Great Immortal Sects.

Lu Chengtong was quite satisfied.

Before him, the Lu Family had been passed down for several generations, and the highest-level technique they possessed only reached the Foundation Establishment Realm; they did not even have cultivation methods for the Golden Core Realm.

Now that he had mastered secret arts sufficient to cultivate to the Dao Integration Realm, what was there to be dissatisfied about!

Of course, he still needed to continue increasing his foundation—not just techniques, spirit roots, and spirit medicines, but more importantly, bloodlines.

After this battle, Lu Chengtong discovered that one hundred and forty-seven of his descendants had died; here, descendants referred to those who had already obtained a supernatural power Dao Seed.

The number of sequential successors recorded in the Treasure Mirror had reached five hundred and sixty-nine; now that one hundred and forty-seven were missing, there were still many left.

Regarding the death of his descendants, he did not have much sorrow or joy.

Lu Chengtong racked his brains for the sake of letting the family be passed down and letting the Lu Family exist forever; the death of an individual, in his view, was just a number.

Judging from this number, his approach was very correct.

As long as the Lu Family bloodline was spread out, even after experiencing such a great catastrophe, the loss was only one-third.

With so many bloodlines remaining, even if he died, the inheritance of the Lu Family could be guaranteed.

The train of thought was correct, so he would continue to use this routine.

Perhaps he could stop limiting his gaze to the human race; the demon race was not incapable of carrying the Lu Family bloodline.

Especially the demon race after transformation; there was still potential there.

After thinking, Lu Chengtong found Jiuyuzi.

"News of Yushu has not come for a long time; I am going out to look for him. Take this jade tablet; if anything happens, you can use it to send me a message."

Jiuyuzi had been worrying about the safety of her only biological son, Song Yushu; during this period, she had completely lost contact with him.

In fact, through the Treasure Mirror, Lu Chengtong had long known that he was not dead and even knew his approximate location.

But he was not that concerned about this son.

He was now thinking about developing the number of descendants; Song Yushu, that kid, had some grand ideals, so let him realize them himself.

Jiuyuzi nodded upon hearing this and instructed:

"Now that the demon race is powerful outside, remember not to have any conflicts with them. Yushu is important, and Senior Brother is also important!"

As expected of someone with a 'love-brain'.

Lu Chengtong kissed her hard and then left.

Finding his son? No need!

It was better to have a few more children.

But now that his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, if he wanted to have bloodline offspring, he needed to find more demon women; only then could he increase the probability of conception.

In this way, he needed a relatively good identity; the demon race attached great importance to bloodlines and could be called bloodline aristocrats.

Let it be this way: enter the upper echelons of the demon race in the name of a Taotie descendant, propagate offspring, and pass on supernatural powers through bloodline talents!
